Self Fortified




Self Fortified


These brick walls I wear


my cinder block insulation

rock hard cloak

keeps the world out

Also serves 
as my prison


where I reside
in solitary isolation

behind these walls high

no one can breach

All I have
of the outside

is a sky

I can never reach

  1. Quit it then
    But oh yes, the feeling is more familiar than I care to admit

  2. Yes, we think we're protecting ourselves...instead we end up hurting ourselves.

  3. We all have walls. It's our protective function. Hopefully, your wall is not so high no one can enter. I distinctly remember *someone* saying everyone needs help from time-to-time (or in so many words). And I agree with Talon. We end up hurting ourselves..

    1. It's always heartwarming to have nice people on the other side of the wall ;)
